The Phoenix Rising Trilogy

**2025 Bronze Moonbeam Children's Book Award for Best Series!**

When Vivian Carmine accidentally sets her school gym on fire, she uncovers a truth that turns her world upside down: she’s a phoenix. And fire? It’s only the beginning.

Arriving at RISE, a secret spy academy for demi-gods and magical misfits, Vivian is swept into a high-stakes world of magical espionage, buried secrets, and dangerous enemies. With her parents missing, she must master her powers, navigate shifting loyalties, and uncover the truth—before everything she cares about goes up in flames.

From the neon-lit streets of Tokyo, to the darkest trenches of the sea, and onto the frozen gates of Olympus, Vivian’s journey spans more than miles. She’ll face tyrant gods, underwater resistance fighters, and betrayals from those she thought were allies—all while discovering who she really is, and what she’s willing to fight for.

This audiobook trilogy includes: Flash of Fire: A fiery secret. A missing family. A spy academy where survival is the first lesson. Drowning the Flames: A lost key. A rising threat. A mission beneath the sea to stop a global flood. Into Ashes: A war for freedom. A battle for truth. A final stand to protect the future of magic.

Narrated by Erin Chmela, a passionate puppeteer and voice actress who brings every character to life with humor, heart, and the spark of a true storyteller.
